White Sox Week in Review: Where Do We Go from Here?

Since May 18, the White Sox are nine games over .500. They have had three winning streaks of four games or more. They have worked their way up from six games behind the division-leading Detroit Tigers to a mere three and a half...

White Sox Week In (P)Review: Coming Back, Looking Up

The slow play. I won a $20 in a poker tournament with my friends on Sunday night, as the White Sox departed for Cleveland after their win over the Cubs. I didn't win any big hands. Probably never more than 40 chips at a time...

White Sox Week in (P)Review: The Moment of Truth

Things are trying to fall into place. The White Sox rain-shortened road trip was a modest success as the South Siders return home with a record of 5-3. They went 3-2 over the last week (Monday to Sunday) and both losses were by a single run...

White Sox Week In (P)Review: "It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This."

Last week (Sunday to Sunday), the Chicago White Sox went 4-5. They missed opportunities, failed to execute, and threw away a chance to gain meaningful ground on the division-leading Tigers...

White Sox Week In Review: Falling Up

It seems my mind was playing tricks on me. Last week, the White Sox's awful road trip (1-6 through Cleveland and Toronto) had me thinking the season was just about over...

White Sox Week in Review: As if That Weren't Enough...Part One

"It's only going to get worse." That's what my mind is telling me. It wasn't like this last year, when the Sox started fast and then spun their wheels in May...

Division Debate: Crede Trade Could Be More J's Than Sox Can Handle

Say it ain't so, Joe. First we had to deal with Justin, A.J. and Eddie Guardado. That was bad enough. Then they brought up that Mauer kid and the Neshek guy with the funky windup. Worse, but we could handle it...

White Sox Week in Review: The Legend Of Soxtober

A game and a half is not much. Nothing at all, in fact, in the spring when everyone is fresh and keen and baseball is fun, when the clubs are all crowding on each other's heels and everyone has a shot at the old flag...

Voices From The South Side: With The End in Sight...

I know we're a little late folks, but blame it on the rain. Voices from the South Side is back again with your smartest baseball minds and their thoughts on Chicago's "other" major-league team...

Sox Talk: Volume Two, Issue One

Well folks, the White Sox Roundtable is back in action. With the South Siders in the playoff hunt and jousting with the Twins for the AL-Central lead, things get more interesting every day. Fortunately, we have our Sox Talk panel to clarify things for us

Chicago White Sox Week in Review: Sticking and Moving

Amazing, isn't it? It's crazy how the Sox do so well when they just do what I tell them to do. Last week, I said that they needed to sweep the Royals—and they did. I said that a road-series win in Oakland was absolutely necessary...

Chicago White Sox Week in Review: By the Tip of a Finger

Some of you are thinking about this picture. Some of you are wondering what this picture is doing attached to a baseball article. Some of you might think I'm a little off for this one...

White Sox Roundtable: Need Voices!

All right everyone, it's time. It's the tail end of the season and the White Sox lead the division by the slimmest of margins over the Twins...

What's Good: The Man Who Said Too Much, Part Two

We've all got that friend. You know what I'm talking about. The friend whom you love hanging out with, but you try to keep away from other people. The friend whom you know might raise a few eyebrows or rub certain people the wrong way...

Chicago White Sox Week in Review: To Win or Die Trying? That Is the Question

Obviously, I shouldn't have gone to Lollapalooza. While it was a great weekend of music, and definitely deserved the title of "concert event of the summer", the White Sox went 0-2 while I was at the festival...

Manny Ramirez Traded to Chicago Bears for Rex Grossman, Landmark Status (Humor)

The Chicago Bears have finally added the arm they have needed in their backfield. And no, it's not Brett Favre. After Manny Ramirez made it clear that the Boston Red Sox were considering making ...

Chicago White Sox Week in Review: And the Sock Flies On

I worked the late shift today at the Millennium Park Grill concession stand. It was a usual Friday: tourists, families, and concertgoers descended on the park and stretched out our closing time...

White Sox Week in Review: The Fighting Sox (Part Three)

White Sox Week In Review: The Fighting Sox (Part Two)

Chicago White Sox Week in Review: The Fighting Sox (Part One)

The Fighting Sox are in first place. They fought and fought and fought. They fought the critics who said they would finish fourth and wouldn't even contend. They fought the rain and the cold early in the season...

Open Mic: What's Good: The "Sport" Of Bowling, Or Why I Love Rolling (the) Rock

Chicago White Sox Week in Review: That's What!

No one thought it was gone. The big-spending fans in the Scout Seats behind the plate didn't think so. Hawk and DJ didn't think so. Farmer and Stoney didn't think so. No one in the ballpark tonight thought that Alexei Ramirez's home run was a home run..

What's Good: Whatever Happened to Mike Beasley?

"It's been a long time since a brother could eat." So said Kimbo Slice at the beginning of one of his YouTube fights. I believe it was "Kimbo vs. Dreads." Either way, the Chicago Bulls have to be feeling a lot like Kimbo Slice these days...
